Neil McSweeney self-released his first album, Remember To Smile, in 2006. After a warm response from national press and radio, London-based Warner subsidiary Kids got involved for a couple of singles. Neil decided once more to self-release for his second album, Shoreline (2009), which again garnered strong reviews and caught the attention of Richard Hawley, leading to support slots in the UK and Europe.
The Seventeen EP sees the Sheffield songwriter gearing up for an active second half to 2013. Recorded by leading trad-folk producer Andy Bell, and featuring the talents of BBC Folk Musician of the Year nominee 2013, Sam Sweeney, the release is a precursor to Neil’s third full album, ‘CARGO’, which is scheduled for released in the autumn.
“Deeply felt, brooding songs rich in imagery. He has the tools to make a huge impact.” **** The Guardian
“McSweeney is the genuine article. Highly recommended.” **** Daily Express
“Steelier than your average troubadour.’ Q Magazine
“Songs so subtle and well-crafted that you can’t help but be drawn in…they deserve much wider acclaim.” DrownedInSound.com
Support comes from M G Boulter
After being forced into hibernation by the long winter, Lucky Strikes frontman Matthew Boulter emerges with his second album of glorious, gentle, life-affirming songs to take us into Summer. The Water Or The Wave features eleven original songs, conceived on the road at various folk club and festival shows throughout the past year and given life beside the grassy marshland and mudflats of his South Essex home on the Thames Delta.
“Gorgeous, in a word” **** Uncut
“A dreamlike album of lyrical beauty…. Another very fine addition to a promising portfolio” **** R2
